My niece is a single mother receiving no child support. She just received a letter from DHS stating she has 11 days to find daycare and then start a work program for mother's receiving cash assistance. Five days a week, 40 hours. She is in a panic. Does anyone know about this program? No one has ever mentioned this to her. She is more than willing to work but didn't know anything about it.

Thanks!!

We are staying at the Palmer house tomorrow night and planned to shop on Saturday. We DIDN'T know it was the Festival of Lights! We have to catch the 6:30 pm train back to Indiana. Is there a place that you can see the Festival of lights near Millenium station so we can be close to where we have to catch the train. Or are the crowds so large that we should just skip it and leave earlier?

My daughter is traveling alone to Florida and is flying from Chicago Midway. Is there a place for her to stay in Michigan City that provides some type of transportation to and from airport?

My niece is renting an apartment she can no longer afford. The cleaning company she was working for was let go from the school so now she is on unemployment. The unemployment is not enough to pay the rent. She has talked with the manager but they said that the state just extended unemployment benefits for 13 weeks so she has to pay her rent until April 2010. She just delivered a preterm baby boy 3 1/2 weeks ago who will be in the hospital until December. She needs to move back home with her parents but the apartment complex will not budge. Very sad. Any suggestions?

My 15 year old son is a huge Bear fan. We live in Michigan and would love to take the South Shore Line train to Soldier Field to watch them practice. Is this possible? The games are a little to pricey for us.

Can someone give me examples of how many fruits and vegetables you have to eat with each nutrisystem meal? I am thinking about purchasing this system but want to know how much more I have to purchase. Thanks!

9 of us plan to take the South Shore Line to Millinium Station and walk to the ESPN Zone for lunch. Then we would like to go to the Shedd Aquarium but the South Shore doesn't stop at 11th street on the way back. How far is the Shedd Aquarium from the ESPN Zone and what is the best way for us to do this. We are traveling from the Carol Ave. station in Michigan City. Should we buy round trip tickets from Carol Ave. to Millinium Station and just get off at 11st station first to visit the Aqarium and then take a taxi (9 of us) to ESPN Zone and then get back on the South Shore to get back to Carol Ave. Station?
